hi been looking today to buy one of they big intercoolers from auto specialists its only £265 with twin fans just wondering if there any good and should i cut the front bumper out what are the advantages ? auto specialists claim they had a 20 bhp with fitting this thanks alot

 

Do u have a link to this cooler?

Cheers,

Jim

 

Seen these on FAST/PERFORMANCE FORD....Think they are new and un-proven in the RS TURBO world.Cheap enough though.Under cutting all rivals by about £150.

the airtec one, looks ok but very un-tested as of yet with regards to acts.
i might be buying one soon purely cus if the price!
i mean cummon its got to be better than the halfsize uns

 

not worth buying untill someone tests one look at the first pro alloy intercoolers no good after around 14 psi 70c + acts same as the standard cooler

 

ok cheers for the help what does everyone think about cutting the front of the bumper out ? does it help alot or is it just for looks

 

I think the front bumper cut out looks crap every one to there own.

All i did with mine to get more air flow was remove the foam from behind the middle bar then cut the bottom vents out larger work 100% stop on.

cutting the bumper helps alot more air you get to the intercooler the lower the acts = more power

my front bumbers cut but not all the way still got the middle bar

i would save up the bit extra and get a grs inercooler tried and tested to be one of the best

and if you mention to him that your a member of passionford he gives you a little discount

 

perfect cheers lee where do you get them from ?

cheers for that

 

At that price, its worth a go,

and its got to be good enough for 250bhp at least.

 

Agreed worth a pop, but would only really go with GRS even if i had to go 2nd hand at that price

 

Double post

 

get a grs one not worth the risk imo

 

I put a post up about these awhile ago and as said they are un-tested with regards to acts and i even emailed autospecialists to see if they did see a good decrease in ACT temp with this cooler and they told me that they didn't test for that just how much increase there was in BHP which imo is stupid as i would have thought that ACT temps would have been a big selling point.
